"He's on our team, he started the season on our team. He is a San Francisco Giant so in my eyes when he's able to come back why wouldn't you want him to come back?" Romo said. "Look at the talent he has and imagine how much better he could make us. Through everything, everything he did, the reasons he did it, it doesn't matter, that's his business.

"When it comes to our business as a team as a whole and he's able to come back I expect everyone to welcome him with open arms."

We'll see whether or not the rest of Romo's teammates and, more importantly, his bosses agree. But Romo also said that Melky, despite the perception, is "a good teammate."

"He's a good teammate, he really is," Romo said. "He's very quiet and everything, he smiles and he's got a good personality and everything and he fits. So when he's able to come back I do expect everyone to welcome him back."

Again, it's quite possible that many of Romo's teammates feel the same way. But it really doesn't matter if none of the Giants brass feels that way.
